Charge this loss to the chief!

Last night I had almost given up on the Brewers when Vaughan decided he wanted to turn on WNBA in which case I said, "I'd rather watch the Brewers over the WNBA no matter the score."
By that point the bottom of the ninth was just getting underway and the Crew was trailing, 6-1.
What followed was a great rally (probably the best all year by the Brewers). It did tie the game to force extras as Mike Cameron flew out to left and Ryan Braun was dead to rights at the plate.
To be fair, you almost have to send Braun to the plate there against an untested arm in left field.
Then free baseball was on. The Crew had just one real chance in the 12th inning, but that came with 2 outs.
Cinncy did its damage in the 13th inning, Todd Coffey's third inning of work. Which is where my problem lies. Coffey, as great as he's been this year for the team, is a one, maybe two inning, guy. Send him out for a third and some guys are going to get a chance to see him for a second time. There is no way a late inning guy is going to get through the order more than once. He's not built for that. The fact that Ken Macha let him go out and throw another inning is all on him. And you may ask if anyone was left in the 'pen. Well, there was still arms in the bullpen, it just seemed Macha didn't want to bring everyone out to win the game.
That's not how you manage baseball in my opinion. You play for that game and worry about the next day when it comes. That's the only way to go about it, if you ask me. Not sure what saving arms can get for you.
Sure, things were pretty dire, heck Anthony Witrado actually wrote a decent story on the game, at times, but false hope was kicked to the side in extra innings.
I believe Herm Edwards (one of my fave coaches) said "You play to win the game!" Well said, sir.

I'm not much on Favre, but this whole Favre goat thing but it appears the goat has been saved. It was meant to be some sort of curse like the Cubs curse. Not sure how much stuffing a goat in the trunk of your car will pay off, but hey. People in the Whiskey Tango portion of the state are scorned and want to make the guy pay. Sure.

In another fun item, I'm a big fan of a great stache. I can't grow one for the life of me, but when athletes don them, it's some great blog news. Colt McCoy must be trying to ditch the babyfaced assassin monicker with this great mustache. Wonder how his amazingly hot girlfriend feels on the matter.



Now to your favorite portion of the program, the Nussie Hunter. In reading SI.com's Hot Clicks today, I came across some news of a study put on by McAfee, the computer people, about the most dangerous people to search. Jessica Biel is No. 1 and Jennifer Aniston made the list too. The Nussie Hunter think's it's BS what Brad Pitt did to her and would gladly take her in, so here you go. Enjoy!
